CleanSpark is bad for shareholders because it loses money mining Bitcoin, at an all-in cost above $120K per coin. Even excluding about $670M of markdowns on its Bitcoin holdings, it lost almost $400M over the past year, and depreciation eats the rest of its so-called profits. Its shareholder equity is below what it has raised from investors, though its miners are still carried above their worth. This rebuts @Market_Maestros, who argues miners trade on EV/EBITDA and the losses are unrealized. … Show more

MARA Holdings and CleanSpark are little more than lottery tickets: extremely volatile, with shaky fundamentals at best. Retail investors keep chasing overnight riches in them only to watch their holdings bleed out cycle after cycle, while influencers loudly promote them, one even calling for $900 on MARA. Large, high-quality companies are the better place for most capital. x.com 

CleanSpark's $2.28B in secured debt can fund its high-margin AI data-center hosting pivot without near-term share dilution. Its $6.6B, 20-year lease yields $330M annually in contracted revenue, and its Texas power pipeline offers up to 885 MW for hyperscale tenants. It holds roughly 13,000 Bitcoin; Wall Street consensus targets of $23.81 to $26 imply over 100% upside. x.com 

CleanSpark has lost momentum, making lower highs and lower lows since its last volatility hole marked the recent top. Falling whale accumulation, now at 16.9%, explains the lack of price momentum. x.com 

Coinbase remains a buy-the-dip crypto holding, but now ranks behind Circle. It has lagged amid prolonged CLARITY Act uncertainty, faces revenue risk from the ongoing USDC custody renegotiation with Circle, and miners shifting to AI temper the trading-volume outlook. Circle is the preferred stablecoin exposure because stablecoins are the natural payment rail for AI agents. Basket weights stay unchanged, with a lean toward adding to Circle as the highest-conviction name. x.com 

CleanSpark has spent years coiling into a tightening range while its business backdrop improved, setting up a long re-rating base. Higher lows over three to four years show long-term accumulation, while a multi-year descending trendline still caps it, so this is compression, not a breakout. It needs to hold above the 21-month EMA near $11.37 and clear $17-20. If investors value it as a power-backed infrastructure platform with AI/HPC optionality rather than a miner, upside could be large. x.com 

Bitcoin miners converting to AI infrastructure, such as IREN and Keel, are likely to be poor trades. For five years they have raised as much capital as possible and spent it on capex with no prospect of return, and the realistic base case is another dilution-fueled capex spree. They failed to generate shareholder returns even when bitcoin soared. The exception is a hard management reset, as at Core Scientific; the rest are run by the same people. Keel fell 9% on a planned $350 million offering. … Show more

IREN's AI data-center expansion needs enormous capital, making financing needs and execution delays material risks. Bitcoin exposure adds another source of uncertainty despite the size of the AI opportunity; the stock looks tempting but is not one to buy here. x.com 

CleanSpark has the most asymmetric upside among neoclouds as rising hyperscaler capex drives a neocloud summer. It has over 1.8 GW of power and just signed a 20-year, $6.6 billion triple-net lease with near-100% margins with an unnamed hyperscaler, rumored to be Meta. Contracted revenue could reach $11.6 billion, three times its market cap. Being earlier in its shift from bitcoin mining to AI data centers means a bigger potential re-rating. Leopold Aschenbrenner owns ~5%; short interest is 32%. … Show more

Keel Infrastructure is the favorite bitcoin miner to own outright because of its pivot to AI and high-performance computing and the cash it has generated. It is pivoting away from mining but still trades with bitcoin. x.com  x.com
